I've already technically replaced my Mark VIII, but haven't gotten around to getting rid of the one I have! I've been driving,and put more miles, on Mark VIII's longer than most people on here. I got my 1993 in 1996 and put 225k miles on it and have put almost 100k on my 1998 LSC that I got...

As far as I know, the brake line kits for mark VIII's are not available from inline or anybody else anymore :(. Ideally I would have ordered the same kit.

I had both rear brake lines from under the driver door back replaced with the copper alloy brake lines. $260 out the door. Not bad. It is amazing how rusty the rear brake lines looked above the differential compared to the almost clean looking brake lines under the driver's door?! The...

I'm having my local garage replace both rear brake lines. It will be a couple of hundred bucks. They are using a copper nickle alloy line (or copper coated). The mechanic said the front brake lines are not that bad, and should last a couple more years.

- It needs ALL the brake lines replaced.

Well, I finally blew out a rusty brake line when I hit the brakes pretty hard today. I knew it was coming. I have a 1998 Mark VIII with 147,000 miles on it, park outside, live in the northeast, drive it daily and live by the ocean. All the brake lines haven't looked pretty for a while now...

Awesome car! I seriously considered buying it, but I don't visit the Mark8.org site often enough to notice it fast enough. You jumped on it before me. Seemed like a great deal based on what I could find about the car, and the pics. I do remember when he had it up for $15k, and I thought...

Just so I'm clear. You purchased a 16-year old Mark VIII with super high miles of 213,000, that had a junk motor swap, and had a front end hit so bad the air bags went off?! What part of that description made you think this is the car for me and I'm going to fly on a plane to pay $4,500 for...

Duh. You are right, what I had is the Module VIII, not the ASHAM8. That's what I get for leaving it in the package for 2+ years. I sent you a PM with my address to send it back, and I'll refund your money. I'll be listing a Module VIII for sale soon in anybody is interested? :) Ken

I also like the Goodyear Eagle GT's. I just put a set in stock size on my car last week. This is the 4th or 5th time I've put Eagle GT's on Mark VIII's and they are a very good tire all around. Great in wet and dry and they also work OK in snow too. They usually last 40k miles with my...

3-things you should do that are a pain in the butt once the engine is in the car, but easy while it is out. Some are mentioned above. - Change the DPFE sensor - Change valve cover gaskets - Change oil pan gasket (strip and repaint oil pan if it needs it, especially if you drive in snow...

I just ordered that 1st e-bay link for the seat track. Thanks for posting!! markviiiedrea - I hope the tracks and gears in the tracks are not made of plastic?!

Well my driver's side seat track on my 1998 Mark VIII broke. I didn't even know that was something that was fragile :( It makes a horrible clicking noise going forward or backward. Even worse, I put the e-brake on today, and the force from putting the e-brake on, pushed my seat all the way...

Did you try JD at inline tube based on this post...... http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=81596&highlight=BRAKE+LINES Let me know what you find, as I should be replacing all my brake lines soon too :( Really Doug will be replacing them on my car :) Thanks, Ken

My first post on a Mark VIII message board was back in 1998. I picked up my old 1993 Mark VIII in Dec 1996. That first post was on Carcus's Land Shark and Mark VIII page. That was the board before it became markviii.org. The only person here I remember posting on Carcus's board still here...

Do you want to sell those? Or the NIB ones? Ken

Right now only 2-things are broken on my car. - Leaking Front Air Struts - Bad outter tie rods Gotta get both of these fixed. I did just fix some rust holes in my exhaust. I'm one of the few Mark's with a clean rear window seal :) Ken

I'm pretty sure my front struts are not original. Previous owner told me he replaced them. My guess is they are 6-8 years old and have 70k-80k miles on them.

The car was parked on level ground. Same place it had been parked and had slammed before. Before today, it has slammed 100% of the time. It has slammed in any temps including anything between 30-60 degrees. It actually usually slams in 3-4 hours. Today it lasted 14+hours. It sounds like...

So, I went outside today to get in my car and the front end was not slammed? It had been sitting for 14+hours. For a little over a month my front end has been slamming every time when left for a couple of hours. What else can cause the front end to slam if the bags are still good? About a...
